For optimal balance and safety, we typically recommend replacing both cables simultaneously, even if only one appears damaged. This ensures even tension distribution and prevents uneven wear on other door components.

With proper maintenance, cables can last 5-10 years depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions. Montgomery's humidity can accelerate wear, so regular inspections are important for safety.

Yes, it's extremely dangerous. Cables are under high tension and can cause serious injury or property damage if they snap during replacement. This work requires specialized tools and expertise that only trained professionals should attempt.
